Riverside came tearing into Monday's match with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Capital Cougars with a sharp 13-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won ten contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Haylee Mullins made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, Lydia Davis was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Mia Davis, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Riverside hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in eight consecutive games.

Riverside's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Capital, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-14 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Riverside will square off against rival George Washington at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Capital is set to challenge their familiar foe Spring Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
